I'm not going to say anything that others haven't already said, but I can't wrap my mind around how bad moral disengagement has become in the world.  When confronted with a wrong, the first thing anyone does is relate it to another situation or another person and minimize what they did, vilifying any who would implicate their wrongdoing.  I ( Read more... )

        It's interesting that as you get older, you gain perspective.  I came across a few pictures of me when I was younger and, at first, noticed how thin and attractive I used to be.  There was another thought that quickly followed.  I used to think I knew what the world was about, but I knew almost nothing.  I felt that my ideas about how ( Read more... )

      I had a strange experience last night.  I entered the bathroom and looked squarely into the mirror.  There was a moment of shock as I looked at the reflection.  While the face looking back at me was the face I always see, it was not the face I expected to see.  It was a face that did not match the identity my subconscious felt attached to.   ( Read more... )

      I don't know whether I'm just confused or concerned about the implications of having these borderline obsessive thoughts.  Am I analyzing the character for the character or am I identifying with attributes of them and using the character as a vicarious medium for my own journey to self-actualization?  I feel it is more the latter.  I realize ( Read more... )

        Since I got back from my vacation, I've had an odd perception of the world around me.  I don't know where it came or even how I can properly describe it.  I sort of feel like the world is just happening around me.  A lot of things that would be my normal go to for enjoyment aren't having the same effect anymore.  When I'm at work, I don't ( Read more... )

This is going to be a weird transition, but bear with me.

I started playing Life is Strange 2.  I really like the concept and the manner of gameplay.  You watch a story play out, but as one of the characters, you pick the responses and actions he takes.  Your choices affect the path the story takes and the way that the other characters ( Read more... )

I find myself neither happy nor sad.  I'm caught in the contemplative state, wondering what fulfillment means.  My perspectives have evolved over the years.

My friend cheated on his wife and asked to stay with me for a while during their separation.  I prepared a room for him and he's been here for about a month now.  An odd situation when I am ( Read more... )
